It’s been a while since I’ve done a travel bag of the week, but when I saw the new Travelpro Women’s Briefcase I couldn’t resist. Y’all, this bag is designed for serious travelers and it’s just gorgeous. The interior has a padded pocket for a laptop or tablet, plus another zipper pocket. There is a…
The government shutdown has lasted over three weeks, and the effects are definitely being felt by travelers. TSA agents are among those affected by the shutdown, working without pay at airports across the country. As a result multiple airports have reported shutting down security lanes or even entire terminals for periods of time. This means…
Even though it’s not technically on my 2019 Plans list, like everyone else I want to recommit to regular activity in the new year. But the time! The effort! And on a work trip where you’re working, entertaining clients, flying, and driving for 20 hours straight, the idea of strapping on my sneakers and being…
Last spring my sister introduced me to Korean skin care. It basically involves ten (or more) steps including cleaning, toning, different serums for morning and night, targeting problem areas, and moisturizing. As a super busy woman who doesn’t always remember to wash her face before passing out in bed, the idea of ten steps was…
I’m trying a new thing this year. Instead of a list of resolutions or goals, I’m planning for 2019. How is that different? Well, I still have a list of things I’d like to accomplish–but instead of that being the end of it, I’m figuring out when in the year I’ll do them and how…
The holidays are upon us, and people across the country are packing up and hitting the road to be with loved ones.

Don’t let this scare you, but Christmas is one week away. One week. If you have been extremely busy and left things until the last minute, and you plan to order gifts online, well, the last minute is basically here. And no judgement from me–this afternoon and evening will be spent frantically placing online orders…
One of the best recommendations I can give for frequent travelers is TSA Pre-check. It’s $85 for five years and completely worth it for those flying domestically on a regular basis. If you also fly internationally then it’s an even better deal to get Global Entry which is $100 for five years and includes TSA…
This is the time of year when I start dreaming about my family’s annual early-summer vacation. I don’t know if it’s the crazy buildup to the holidays, the end of the fiscal year work crunch, or the cold and rainy weather. It’s this planning phase that gets me through the day is knowing that, in…
Any time I am gone for more than 3-4 days I agonize over my packing list. I want to have everything I need but definitely don’t want to pack too much. That is certainly true for my recent trip to India! I left on a Saturday and got home on Friday, so I was gone…
